You'll enjoy two accompanied daily game drives in the Addo Elephant National Park. The park has proved a very successful conservation story since its inception. It is home to more than 450 elephants, 400 Cape buffalo, over 48 endangered black rhinos, and various antelope species. Lions, spotted hyenas, and cheetahs have also been reintroduced to the area.
The expansion of the original park to the Woody Cape Nature Reserve means that not only does Addo contain five of South Africa's seven major vegetation zones, but it is also one of a few parks to house the so-called 'Big 7' - elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo, leopard, whale and the great white shark Bird Island is home to the world's largest breeding colony of gannets - about 120,000 birds - and also hosts the second-largest breeding colony of African penguins. The focus is on interpretive game viewing, with your guide enhancing your understanding of the animals through their knowledge of the habits and behavior of the different species.
